I am a sucker for anthologies, so I cannot wait for this one. Shudder has done a fantastic job these last 18 months elevating horror voices that previously didn't have a platform. There is still much to be done, but they have made great strides on the service and the projects they choose to get behind. If you have not watched Horror Noire: A History of Black Horror, I encourage you to do so; it is one of the best horror docs in quite some time. Look for Horror Noire, the anthology film on Shudder October 28th.
